Sweet Jesus! What an ordeal you went thru. I'm glad you made it Mooch and hope that the worst is over now. They say it's easier to be tough than strong but it seems God made you both tough & strong and I'm thankful for that. jim

Thanks Jim. It's hard to be afraid or even feel weak when you know you have an NCKA Army backing you up. I could only wish this kind of support group to others that are not so lucky as I'am.

Thanks for sharing the story & info, Joel. It is great that they were able to do their work through small incisions and video assisted rather than have to split you completely open.

Sheesh, with that drain in, an IV, probably oxygen at the nose and the oxygen saturation sensor and maybe even more, it must have been impossible to scratch an eyebrow without setting off alarms, or feeling like a fly caught in a spider's web! And oh, by the way, they want you to get out of bed and walk the ward with those contraptions. I hope they gave you some pajamas so you didn't have to parade around in those back- open gowns!!!

Sooo  glad you're able to be out. You are one tough 'yakker. Rest well.
